Import from Google Calendar

Sonaa can read a calendar export and add its events to your week as regular tasks: you can move, edit and check them off like anything you typed yourself.

Step by stepCopy Anchor Link

1. On a computer, open Google Calendar's export settings (Settings › Import & export) and click Export. You get a .zip with one file per calendar.
2. In Sonaa, open Settings › Import and choose that .zip.
3. Pick how far ahead to import – 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months or a year from today – and untick calendars you don't want, such as holidays or birthdays.
4. Click Import.

Any other calendar app that exports .ics files works the same way – Apple Calendar, Outlook, Proton and most others.

What you getCopy Anchor Link

• Timed events get their time at the start of the title, e.g. 15:00 - 15:30 Standup, just like a timed task. Times are converted to your current time zone.
• All-day events become tasks without a time. An event spanning several days appears on its first day.
• An event's description becomes the task's note.
• Each repeat of a recurring event becomes its own task. Canceled and moved occurrences are handled as in Google Calendar.

Importing againCopy Anchor Link

Importing the same file twice never creates duplicates. Events that were imported before are skipped – even ones you have edited or deleted since – so a second import never undoes your changes.

The flip side: an event changed in Google after you imported it is skipped too. This is a one-time copy, not a live sync.

PrivacyCopy Anchor Link

The file is read on your device and never uploaded. Only the resulting tasks are saved – encrypted end to end if your account uses Secure mode.
